Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Master Baker - For Barry

Sweet Sarah got ready to bake
A sticky rich dark ginger cake
Her flour was appaulin’ -
vile weevils were crawlin’
to use it would be a mistake!

Those weevils could make her cake sour
So Sarah gets rid of that flour
She emits a cus
Then hops on a bus…
She’s baking in less than an hour

For Barry with my love

Andrea Dietrich August 20, 2020 at 3:49 PM hmmm, the cake would have more protein if she' used that weevil flour. hahaha. Good one, Jan.

Tom Cunningham August 20, 2020 at 2:07 PM She certainly used her loaf Jan, reminds me of sailors in Nelsons time, they used to be given biscuits that they ate in the dark because they were full of weevils, yuck. Tom Jan Allison August 20, 2020 at 2:09 PM eww it gets worse and worse lol, I recall getting weevils in a bag of flour I'd not used in a while ... now I keep my flour in a sealed box :-) hugs Jan xx

Ilene Bauer August 20, 2020 at 1:35 PM well done, jan! the picture and the thought of weevils in the flour just makes my skin crawl, though... Jan Allison August 20, 2020 at 1:40 PM I had a fun chat with my friend Barry and i created the poem around the story I was told:-)hugs Jan xx
